So this short drama seems to be produced by Tourism Australia? that means they show a lot of nice views and everyone is really nice. I guess they want to attract some more asian tourists? haha :D Also there is a lot of other companies funding, like lays chips, so it's like a commercial movie.^^°
beside that fact the story is nice with lots of emotions, also a lot to laugh about and some surprises. even if it's short I think it's a good package.
I really loved Show's and Rainie's acting. They really fit together and somehow this time they seemed more mature to me.(but that's maybe because 'Hi my sweetheart' is just too crazy and childish at times.)
The title song 'Wang jian Wang' is very catchy and I already loved it after the first episode. The music video is so cute and funny!
Overall it's a great drama and good to rewatch because it's so short. :D
Only thing is, I don't know if you can watch it with subs. I watched it in chinese on showluo official youtube channel. maybe there is also people uploading subbed videos in youtube?

The plot is paced well, and it covers a range of social topics in a way that's sensitive and kindhearted. Maybe a little too kindhearted, to be honest, as one of my few critiques of the show is the way characters who harm (sexual assault, harassment, etc.) are redeemed far too quickly, to the point where the forgiveness they receive feels somewhat unearned. That's not to say that I don't like the message of abusers growing and holding themselves accountable for the harm they cause, and maybe someday being redeemed... I think that message is very much in line with the show's themes of growth and unlearning destructive habits. But those particular moments could have been built up better, definitely.
Otherwise, the plot was just like the show itself: soft and sweet, and gentle... slowly, steadily progressing.
Ha Seok Jin as the aloof but gentle Ji Woon was a breath of fresh air, and I was really happy to see him even getting to be a little goofy and fun compared to his usual tightlaced, arrogant characters (who I also love, to be fair). Bona's acting improved a lot over the course of the episodes, and now at the end I honestly can't imagine anyone else for the role of Da Yeong.
The supporting characters were all wonderful. My very favorite was Le Ji Hoon as the lawyer Jin Kuk: his antics while trying to win over Sang Ah were hilarious and wildly relatable for anyone who has ever had a hopeless crush on someone. It was so good to see this side of him, haha.
Also, the music I LOVED. It's upbeat and soothing at the same time, which appropriately makes it the perfect soundtrack when you're cleaning, or working to finish some other task.
Overall, this isn't the most exciting drama ever written, but it is soothing and appeals to the humanity in each viewer, quietly offering to inspire us along a path towards being happier and healthier.
(Bonus!: There's a big fluffy old dog who is wonderful, and Ha Seok Jin's cleaning tips at the ends of the episodes were A+++++)

This movie was absolutely flawless, the main leads and supporting cast were impeccabile, the cinematography, execution was all perfect.
It pulled me in from the first scene, and even though so parts were impossible to watch, I had to continue.
Gong yoo was absolutely perfect as the main protagonist, I have a huge problem with movies like this where they have a superhero-like character come in and safe the kids from the horrible people.
Gong makes the character so relatable, he isn't trying to save lives but does what I think majority of people in that situation would have done making it very realistic, and does so without shouting and screaming too much - he manages to show every single emotion with just a look on his face.
The kids, *sigh* the little boy particularly, I want to give him an oscar for his performance. I mean wow.
I would say only watch this movie if you have a very strong stomach for things like this, and it will surely leave a huge impact on you.
Only reason I rated the re-watchability a "2" was because I really could never watch it ever again.

An underrated gem!! Loved it and Enjoyed too much than I expected
This is the first time and drama that I am commenting on, I am feeling so sentimental now. I JUST CRIED DURING THE ENDING!! (FYi, out of happiness) ITS THE FIRST TIME I CRIED OVER A DRAMA LMAOO. So overwhelmed that it has ended. When I first found out about this drama, it was on the casting news of Kim Jaeuck, as he's like my favourite korean actor. I am glad that I watched while it was airing. I remember the earnest waiting of pain every week, FOR new episodes, But It was the one thing to keep me going in life. Because of this drama, I became a fan of Krystal. The chemistry between the two leads, IS INSANE I AM TELLING YOU.To me, this is the most powerful chemistry that I have seen. I don't think anyone or pairing can top this perfectly fated to be a couple duo LOL. I EVEN SHIP THEM IRL
The beginning of the drama may be slow, but it's worth it!! THE slow-burn romance is just PEAK like WOW. At times, I would be laughing my head off lol. The screenwriter did a great job on the drama. It made uses of many cliches, but in such an ingenious way? Idk if anyone notice, but some characters tend to do actions that mirrors one another. (Either from a previous ep or scene. I found it fun like an easter egg HAAAHA)
The enemies to lovers troupe is done so RIGHT here. With their relationship progression, it was actually believable. Usually when the couple gets together, I start to lost interest in the drama. BUT NOT THIS DRAMA. As a viewer, it did its job in keeping me engaged.
Other than the romance, there are other sub-plots going on (mysterious, thriller)
Although tbh, I was not really interested in those lol. Its quite weak. Again the side characters, I find myself skipping through them. JUST SWITCH OFF YOUR BRAIN CELLS, its a romcom drama afterall. The ONLY thing that carried this drama was the lead couple.
THE drama indeed deserves its title "CRAZY LOVE", the CRAZY is there. With the way those
things go, is insane hAHAHA.
It’s unfortunate that it did not do well in ratings on KBS, but at least is doing quite well on Disney+? I watched it on there HAHAA. I will continue rewatching the drama, as I did while it was airing. The rewatchability of this drama is 100.
Goodbye, Mimi couple of “Crazy Love”. You will be missed.
Thanks for making my 2022 better!!

Do not watch this if you are an old fashioned conservative. There are several sexually explicit scenes and it is not the typical Korean one love fate. Since it is an Inde movie, I had to rent it from Amazon for $2.99, but it is free on you tube with multiple clips under avi (start with clip 0).

This is a very beautiful story about two people who were very much opposites and how their relationship progresses.
I love how straight forward the female lead(Koharu) is on doing everything which also goes to show how strong her character is.
Then here comes the male lead (Ryota) who is very quiet and unique, always on his own little world.
The romance going on between them was just the perfect mix of awkward, sweet, clumsy and weird.
This is a good story of how those two comes to know how they really feel and what they should do for their feelings to be conveyed to the other person as well as trusting the love they had for one another.
They were both weird! And that also worked for me
THEY WERE SO CUTE! The romance was very natural and relatable cause I can imagine it happening in real life!!!
So please give me more movies like thissss!

Short & Simple but Funny & Cute Drama
One has to remember; this is a web drama. It's only a 5-7 min per episode so you can't really expect much on a very short series. If you want to watch something with more involving around the plot or gives you something more then watch a drama that has at least 45 mins in each episode.That being said, I enjoyed this series. It does involve messing with time or in this case a time loop but for me personally, this writer wrote it pretty well. It's almost to the level of my favorite time loop drama Reset. It presented with a problem and then through each episode our leads try to figure out how to get out of this time loop. I think it's pretty sweet when the reasoning is revealed on why the time loop occurred.
Lots of funny moments with cute and jealousy scenes. The ML's character is so prideful and bigheaded. lol. He thinks that he's handsome (I mean he's not wrong), and everyone loves him (he's wrong here LOL), which is so funny to me. The FL's character is just funny & adorable overall. She's almost like the brains to this, as it starts with her being stuck in this loop as she tries to figure things out.
There wasn't a lot of music in this, mostly just background music to certain scenes so this drama does lose some points for that based on this rating
Besides that, if you're looking for something to watch but don't have much time to watch a full 45min-1hour episode, I definitely recommend this drama. It's short and simple and gets to the point because of that. Definitely a rewatch for me.

Engrossing (and sometimes gross) -- worth a view!
Obviously, a review a few years than useful to anybody, but here it is!I searched far and wide for the show since there are so many references to it in various reviews for other shows, and it seemed like a worthwhile effort. I ended up binge watching it (which I really try not to do) -- it sucked me in.
But, to start with, the negatives:
* The age gap thing. It was physically gross. As others have pointed out, the female lead acts very much like a teenager, a young and immature teenager, and the scenes in which the two leads are pushed together for romantic reasons were truly gross. Which is actually a credit to the acting, since in later part, when the female lead is supposedly 10 years older, the feeling disappeared. Still -- it really did make me feel gross to have the romantic scenes between a teenager and an adult.
* I may be the only one, but I did not like the secondary romance -- it made next to no sense. The two actors were wonderful -- but the internal logic of their history was nonsensical.
* The ending. There are a couple of components to my dissatisfaction with it, and they all involve lack of any actual resolution. For one -- the goblin "dies" or whatever it is he does, but then is called back -- and is still a goblin. Wasn't he supposed to die? Does this mean he never dies? And the whole thing repeats three more times?
* The "reveal" of who the grim reaper is was telegraphed so early that it was not a reveal at all.
The positives are what others have pointed out: Engaging story that, overall, holds together logically; good acting; excellent chemistry among all of the actors (not just the romantic leads) -- the wonderful bromance!; the beautiful music.
So, in the end, I am glad that I got to watch it, despite the occasional grossness.

(bad) y/n fanfic meets k-drama
This is pretty much a fanfic adapted into a k-drama, so don't go into it with too high expectations.Overall, it was an ok-ish watch. I would have liked to see better acting (particularly from Lee Sin Young, as he was supposed to be the "main" lead of the show—he had the emotional range of a plank of wood for most of it), and a different ending. Just let the evil guy be evil. Why throw in a pointless "oh, he's just lashing out because he's hurt" twist? The guy schemed, lied, cheated and stole with the objective of tearing down the mart to erect a building there. Evil is, as evil does; the villain should have been defeated and sent to jail.
Also, I didn't get what the point of Gina, the girl idol was. Her relationship drama with Young Min added absolutely nothing to the story. Same as the love triangle barely hinted at between Ho Rang, Ye Rim and Tae Ho.
I feel like a better writer could have actually made a fun, enjoyable show out of the premise of a bunch of estranged, washed-up idols running a mart together, like for example if Ye Rim had been a super fan of Thunder Boys, and thus had vested interest in them making up and being successful in running the business together (plus, her quietly losing her mind out of excitement over meeting her favorite idols at first, only to eventually learn they are just normal people would have been a fun, meaningful development). Disappointing, really.

a/n: Hopefully this could help you a least for a little bit. I'm not really good a doing reviews and I don't really post reviews, but I would like to try it so here you are, my first very review in MDL. Thank you!

I really liked the story, although nothing really new, it was refreshing, funny, well paced and kept you entertained. Even if you are not familiar with the classic story of The Legend of Chun Hyang, you can still enjoy this movie, as I did.
The two main leads do a great job with their roles, and they do seem to have a nice chemistry. Seo Ji Hye as Hyang Dan was great, but her character was a little too "we come from different worlds". I would have liked to see her let that go a little earlier. Otherwise she is very sincere and believable in her portrayal. Choi Si Won as Lee Mong Ryong is adorable, and quite funny. He's like a little boy in some scenes, like when he is "studying"!
Even the supporting cast does well. Kim Kwang Gyu as Eui Jik -the bandit leader - was really quite funny! He had me slapping my head, rolling my eyes in one scene and then holding my sides from laughing in another.
The only thing I didn't understand, was the point of the two ghost? Perhaps this is some reference to the original story? They don't detract or add to the story in my opinion, but I just don't get it.
Over all this was a pleasant way to spend my rainy Saturday afternoon.
Please note that the "rewatch value" is such because I do not rewatch anything, but if I had to guess you could enjoy watching it more than once?

My heart wanted to burst
My heart wanted to burst just within minutes of watching this movie! Although it may have been very successful as a drama (with these actors, etc.) the simplistic nature of this movie hit all the feels. It was pure and straight to the point. It wonderfully covered topics on youth, coming-of-age, love, family, and friendship within just a span of two hours.This story is about a girl named Geng Geng who becomes deskmates with a boy named Yu Huai after they meet on the first day. It started with Yu Huai pointing out that his name (on the bulletin board) was next to someone called Geng Geng and together their name makes "Geng Geng Yu Huai," meaning to "take to heart." Turns out it was her that he was talking about. After becoming deskmates, they become friends and they even began taking interest in each other. Nearing graduation however, unexpected news leaves them parting ways. The story mainly follows their youth almost acting as flashbacks from present time but eventually comes full circle with them meeting once again after seven years.
Definitely recommend! In terms of the selection of actors and their acting skills, this movie was very well paired. Again, there were so many moments my heart wanted to just burst because of how cute and pure the interactions were.

It might be a medical drama, the plot is not what you expect! There is no rivalry between characters, no fighting for a higher rank in the hospital it is all about a doctor who wants revenge.
Go Kyung Pyo's acting is amazing in this and since I've only seen him in much softer roles such as Strongest Delivery Man and Reply 1988 it is really interesting to see him star in such a dark and suspenseful drama.
Jeon So Min is also great in this drama as I've only seen her on Running Man, it is quite interesting to see her play much more serious roles where she doesn't have to joke around as much.
Every single episode keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you want to watch the next episode as soon as possible. The amount of times I got scared due to the intense and suspense throughout this drama is numerous. Although there are some predictable parts throughout the drama, they did very well in delivering it even if it is what you expected to happen.
There is nothing much I disliked about the drama at all. The pacing of the drama is great, they don't drag certain parts and I understand each part of the plot clearly. It is definitely worth a watch!

The acting was really good, and everybody acted their characters well. I also really loved the cast that was chosen. I just wasn't really fond of Joon-woo's character and his strategy throughout the movie. As for the Music, there was only one song that I remember. I feel like it fit the scenes, but it didn't really have the most impact and wasn't the most memorable song that they picked.
I probably wouldn't rewatch this movie unless I was forced to, but it was very different from what I anticipated it to be. I would consider this movie to be decent to watch, but don't get your hopes up from the trailer as I did.
